Sell the Fountain, keep the Baja. Then in a few more years get a bigger Fountain !!! Don't worry, two foot itis will set in eventually.

I have had a 17, 21,24 and now 36.

Put them both up for sale and let the buyer decide which one you keep.

Ive had a 27 foot Baja and as far as the "anchor" locker, it is about useless except for storing empty beverage cans when anchored!!!!

nothing against baja but would you rather have a chevy or cadillac. Beyond that keep whatever you like the most and have most paid for
